As a general rule, Skydemon uses English terms for radio stations / callsigns around the globe, which is good and international standard. Schiphol Tower, Frankfurt Ground, Venezia Approach etc. But why is France an exception to this rule? Tour instead of Tower, Sol instead of Ground, Prevol instead of Delivery, Approche instead of Approach etc. Maybe it's only me, but I find this stuff distracting in-flight. And if I call up with "Tour" instead of Tower, ATC might very well reply directly in French.
Of course, even in France, ATC is used to their English names, so there is no reason to call their radio stations in French language, while speaking in English for the rest of the conversation. Maybe it's time to fix this in Skydemon and align French radio stations with the rest of Europe / World?

It will be because that's how the callsigns are described in the AIP.
